He debuted for Oxford University the following year against the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Oxford. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1866, making sixteen appearances.[4] Playing as an all-rounder, Voules scored 423 runs in his sixteen matches at an average of 19.22 and a high score of 56.[5] With his right-arm roundarm fast bowling, he took 29 wickets at a bowling average of 10.75, with best figures of 7 for 26.[6] These figures, one of two five wicket hauls that he took for Oxford, came against Cambridge in a match winning performance in The University Match of 1863.[3][7] Voules gained a blue in cricket while playing for Oxford in his freshman year.[3] During his time at Oxford, he also played first-class cricket for the Gentlemen on three occasions between 1863–66 in the Gentlemen v Players fixture, and the for the Gentlemen of England and the MCC once each in 1865.[4]
He graduated in 1866 and shortly after became a priest in the Church of England.[1] Voules made his final appearance in first-class cricket in 1867, when he played for Southgate against Oxford University.[4] Prior to taking a clerical post with the church, Voules was employed as a schoolteacher. He was an assistant master at Rossall School in 1869, before becoming an assistant master at Marlborough College in 1873. He was appointed as the principle of Sydney College, Bath in 1874, holding the post until 1879.[2] He took a clerical position as the rector of Ashley in 1879, a position he held until 1894. He moved to Yorkshire in 1894, where he took up the position of rector at Rise. In 1900, Voules returned to Bristol, where he was the rector of Keynsham until 1908.[2] He later served on the council of Marlborough College in 1913. Voules died in London at Maida Hill in May 1923. His brother was Sir Gordon Blennerhassett Voules, a clerk to the admiralty.[8]
